I feel like a great sorceress when I’m wearing this ring.

Amazing Things Happen When You Wear the Chanel Sophisticated Eye Collection’s Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Vanites
When I wear the Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadows in Vanites ($57; part of the new Chanel Sophisticated Eye collection), unicorns shoot glittery rainbows from their horns, every cat within a 10-mile radius rolls on its back and flashes its tum, and Ryan Gosling materializes on my doorstep and offers to take me to Pinkberry for a salted caramel fro-yo.
Well, at least that’s how I feel when the colors in this divine eyeshadow quad are decorating my lids.
I tried them on this afternoon, and the purple, pink and two duo chromes couldn’t have been much easier to blend; I barely had to flick my wrist. It was like swish, swish, DONE!
“Ooh, nice!” El Hub said when he got home from work, which loosely translated means, “Your eye makeup, while bold, doesn’t scare me like it does sometimes when you wear crazy-@ss purples.”

Put on Your Moon Boots! NARS Silver Odyssey Blasts onto Counters Next Week
Every single picture I’ve taken so far today has ended up looking more or less like this…
America’s Next Lloyd Christmas Model?
I know, right? (It’s been a rough day.) Tyra and Ms. J would probably slap the ombre highlights off me if they found out I was still posting spacey pictures of myself on the Internet and not smiling with my eyes.
More photographic evidence…

Speaking of spacey looks, have you seen the new NARS Nail Polish in Space Odyssey ($17) yet? The Hubble Space Telescope took this shot of it on my paw…

Lancôme Doll Lashes and Ragdoll Kitties
Wait — so you’re telling me that blue-eyed baby Ragdoll kitties have absolutely nothing to do with the new Lancôme Doll Lashes collection?
Are you sure? Because the word “Doll” appears right there in each product’s name.
Oh, well. Leave it to a cat lady to just hope/assume that Lancôme was referring to adorably docile Ragdoll cats. 🙂
Although I’m a little bummed that felines didn’t play a role in the six-piece eye collection, I still like the idea behind the release — coordinating eye makeup to create a bright, wide-eyed look.
The collection, available now at Lancôme counters and also online, centers around the new Hypnôse Doll Lashes ($25), a volumizing mascara designed to create a full lash look, but the accompanying eyeshadow quints and liners also look like fun, especially if you like pinks, taupes and purples.
Here are some quick swatches. Have a look, and let me know what ya think.
